Season 1
Garrow's Law is set in the Old Bailey of Georgian London against a backdrop of corruption and social injustice and is based on real legal cases from the late 18th century.
In an age where the defence counsel acted in a minority of cases, the young William Garrow championed the underdog and pioneered the rigorous cross-examination of prosecution witnesses that paved the way for our fairer legal system of today.
Each episode begins with the investigation of a case sourced from the Old Bailey archives of the day, from rape and murder to high treason and corruption, and follows Garrow and his associate Southouse working to uncover the truth or fight for justice.
Garrow's Law is a Twenty Twenty/Shed Media Scotland production.
